TAMPA, Fla. — Declan Farmer collected gold medals as a member of the U.S. sled hockey team at his first two Paralympic Games, so as the Tampa native prepares to depart this week for his third, he has something else on his mind.
To help some of his teammates get their first.
“There’s a lot of guys on our team who haven’t won a gold medal, yet,” said Farmer, 24, a Berkeley Prep alumnus. “So this is a brand new thing. What happened in the past is done, and we’re just 17 competitors who have a great responsibility and opportunity to give it our best go in Beijing and do everything we absolutely can to bring home the gold medal.”
